What is MOV?
MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container format (QTFF) used to package video, audio, captions, timecode, and rich metadata into track-based “atoms.” A .mov can hold many codecs—H.264/AVC, HEVC/H.265, Apple ProRes, CineForm, and uncompressed or PCM audio—making it popular for camera originals, screen recordings, and professional editing. Because MOV preserves edit lists, color profiles, and even alpha channels (with ProRes 4444), it functions well as a high-quality master. Most editors and players—QuickTime Player, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve—open MOV directly, though web delivery often converts it to MP4 for broader browser compatibility. File sizes vary widely: intra-frame codecs like ProRes are larger but easier to edit, while H.264/HEVC are smaller yet more CPU/GPU intensive during cutting and export.
What is MP4?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a flexible multimedia container built on the ISO Base Media File Format. A .mp4 bundles video, audio, subtitles, and metadata into track-based “boxes,” making it ideal for storage and streaming. Common video codecs include H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC; audio is typically AAC, with ALAC or Dolby Digital (AC-3) sometimes used. MP4 can carry chapters, thumbnails, and subtitle tracks such as 3GPP Timed Text (tx3g), and it supports HDR signaling with HEVC (e.g., HDR10, HLG). Fragmented MP4 (fMP4) powers adaptive streaming like HLS and MPEG-DASH. Because virtually all browsers, phones, TVs, and social platforms play MP4—especially H.264/AAC—it’s the default choice for web video delivery. Editors and players (VLC, QuickTime, Premiere, Resolve) open MP4, and remuxing to MOV or MKV is often lossless when codecs match.
